Rambutan

In October, we're posting one Costume Parade cartoon per weekday as part of Vegan MoFo. Want to go to the beginning of the Costume Parade? Start with some candy corn!

Our next contestant bouncing across the stage is not a Koosh ball. Please don't let the name Rambutan, or the costume horns, or the tens of spikes intimidate you.

This tropical fruit contains a sweet and slightly sour grape-like flesh that is delicious as is, chopped up into a rambutan chutney, or blended into a rambutan and coconut sauce. Just be mindful not to confuse Rambutan with his cousin, Lychee, because he just might use one of his horns.
